Linux Specific
Session Type (X11 vs Wayland)
MiniMeters will automatically select a session type by reading the XDG_SESSION_TYPE environment variable. If you would like to force a specific session type you can simply run MiniMeters with this environment variable set. Like so:
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 ./MiniMeters.AppImage
...Or like so for Wayland:
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland ./MiniMeters.AppImage
If for some reason you need to keep the XDG_SESSION_TYPE environment variable set, maybe due to a window manager limitation, you can also set the MINIMETERS_SESSION_TYPE environment variable.
Limitations
- Wayland cannot currently set the window position so any feature in MiniMeters that relies on window positioning will simply not work on Wayland. If you do not need fractional scaling support on Linux I would recommend using X11 as your
XDG_SESSION_TYPEin MiniMeters.
MSAA Setting
MiniMeters defaults to a Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) value of 4x. You can change this by setting the MINIMETERS_MSAA environment variable.
To disable MSAA set the MINIMETERS_MSAA to 1 like so:
MINIMETERS_MSAA=1 ./MiniMeters.AppImage
Accepted values range between 0 and 16. Other values may be supported depending on your graphics card.
